When children are taught heteronormative values, are they being ‘indoctrinated’?

This graph is awful misleading and there is considerable debate about whether the stimulus helped with job recovery from the recesssion or not.

Lol. This thread man… I’m remembering why I almost never engage in this forum.
Apparently wanting people to understand homosexual behavior is a natural part of a small percentage of human sexuality, and many other species, and therefore not an evil behavior to vilify people for, and wanting them to be allowed to get married like everyone else is forcing people to Celebrate homosexual practices.

What part is debatable? Are you debating the numbers on the graph or the cause for the numbers (which are not presented in the graph)?
The graph simply lists the monthly jobs numbers and labels the months that the stimulus happened.
Which decision in the last 50 years “legislated morality”
roe v wade?
DOMA getting struck down?
Pedantic moment: the SCOTUS adjudicates, it doesn’t legislate.
No. Because heterosexuality is normal.

That Obama’s policies, ie stimulus spending, increased month over month employement. That is what the graph is saying, correct?
I’d want to know if the way unemployment was counted stayed consistent over that time frame. I’d also consider whether the increase in employement was a natural progression after a decline in employement resulting from the recession.
It’s not so cut and dry, imo.

A few years ago, it was “normal”–that is, it ‘conformed to a standard; was usual, typical or expected’–that women couldn’t vote, own property, were legally subsumed to and possessed by their husbands, etc.
A few years ago, it was “normal” to own black people.
You sure you want to go with the ‘normal’ argument here?
You favor paying more taxes than the other g20 nations?
I’m with you on military spending. We don’t need 800 bases.
By whom.

You used the word normal with “heteronormative”. Teaching children that heterosexuality is common is like teaching them the sky is blue or that a day has 24 hours.
That doesn’t mean teach intolerance.
Like I said, you wish to legislate morality, albeit from the left.
I merely wish gays to be left alone.
And religious people to be left alone.
But, no, religious people MUST CHANGE. We must use the state to change their Backward Ways!

Does it matter?
Note the shift here–from ‘normal’ to ‘common.’ These words, while related, are not interchangeable. Heterosexuality is unquestionably more common than is homosexuality. But this fact doesn’t mean heterosexuality is normal, with the inescapable implication that homosexuality is abnormal.
If one is arguing for teaching a purely heteronormative perspective, one is, by definition, teaching intolerance.
Actually, we have done just that, and for the better. Or should we go back to burning heretics and witches?
Yes.
In modern times, the government has force religious people to change their beliefs and practices?
I mean, aside from communism, with its forced atheism.
Interesting.

France has. I believe states have sought medical care for children when their parents thought prayer was enough. Muslims are not allowed to kill the creators of South Park.
Communism is a secular religion, to Lenin’s dismay, so they just traded one god for another.
Who is teaching this?
Maybe things have changed, but all we learned about was biological functions. This is your pee-pee and here’s how girls get pregnant.
There wasn’t any normal or not normal involved.

And like 15 people in the Westboro Baptist church lmao.
